Electoral Vote Predictor still relevant

The beloved EV Predictor that we have all come to know and love (or maybe we now resent or hate, depending on where we stand) these past weeks has up:

a county-by-county map of the U.S. showing who won where. From looking at the map, you wouldn't know that almost half the population voted for Kerry. It shows very clearly how Kerry's base is in highly-populated urban areas and Bush's base is more in suburban and rural areas.
